Subject: [PATCH] S390 topology: don't use kthread() for
 arch_reinit_sched_domains()

Now that it is safe to use get_online_cpus() we can revert

	[S390] cpu topology: Fix possible deadlock.
	commit: fd781fa25c9e9c6fd1599df060b05e7c4ad724e5

and call arch_reinit_sched_domains() directly from topology_work_fn().
